John Fredriksen’s Flex LNG will officially list on the New York Stock Exchange on Monday 17 June.
Chief executive Oystein Kalleklev said the company “has the honour” of ringing the opening bell to mark what will a dual listing for Flex, which is also keeping its position on the Oslo Stock Exchange.
The ticker on both exchanges will be FLNG.
Kalleklev also said Flex LNG took delivery of its fifth newbuilding today from South Korean shipbuilder DSME.
He said the 173,400-cbm, M-type electronically-controlled, gas-injection (ME-GI) Flex Constellation has been handed over three weeks ahead of schedule as it is fixed for a maiden voyage ex-yard at DSME in South Korea.
Brokers have previously linked the vessel to BP for a spot voyage on delivery.
Kalleklev said that in connection with delivery, Flex used $125m of a new $250m bank facility securing what he described as "a very competitive cash break-even level of about $45,000 per day".
The company, which ordered all its 13 LNG newbuildings speculatively, is due to take delivery of sistership Flex Courageous due out in August.
Flex has five LNG newbuildings scheduled for handover in 2020 with two more due the following year.
